Part 2: Terra's Awakening on Christmas Eve Morning
Summary: Lina now knows who the girl is, and who's been stealing her roses. Now she's on a mission to get Terra back, and her brother's the only one who can help. But are the others ready to forgive, forget, and take Terra back?

Chapter 5 (continuing from part 1, kind of): The Flower Chase (the fourth night)
"Lina, wake up!" Robin was yelling at her. She was confused, though: Wasn't she already awake?
"Robin, what are you talking about?" she asked. Robin didn't answer, but said more urgently,
"Lina, listen to me! You've got to wake up now!" Starfire appeared.
"He is correct, Merlina!" she said in an almost trembly sort of voice as she shook Lina's shoulders gently, "You must awaken immediately!"
"What?!" said Lina.
"There's no time!" yelled Robin, "You have to go now, before it's too late!" He turned her around and pushed her forward.

Merlina fell on her knees, and looked up at the statue she'd seen in her first dream. Then a light flashed as her friends' voices were heard repeating, "GO! NOW!" And then she woke up.

Panting, Lina jumped out of bed. Thankfully, Umbra was sleeping in Raven's room, so Lina was the only one awake...or so she thought, until she opened her door to sense movement on the floors below. Armed with her wand, Merlina crept down the hall, down to the boys' floor. She sensed Beast Boy's aura; he was leaving the tower!

Stealthily following him outside, Lina just saw a green eagle fly off the island with red roses in its beak. Lina waited until he was a safe distance away, then kissed the tip of her wand, blew on it, and a white pegasus appeared in an array of sparks. Lina mounted, and the pegasus took her downtown.

Still a safe distance behind Beast Boy, Merlina followed him into the close space of the volcano, through the dark until he stopped until he stopped at a statue, already surrounded by Lina's roses. Lina cringed, reminding herself to trap him in a cage next time he turned into something at home. She watched him place the flowers at the feet of the statue, turn into a bird, and fly off.

It was too dark to see anything. Lina lit her wand and, with the light surrounding her right hand and creating a somewhat fluorescent glow, walked to the statue, pointing her wand to the head.

Lina gasped. It looked like Terra from her dreams! Lina cast her glow all over the statue, stopping at the Slade symbol.
'That doesn't suit her at all,' she thought, removing it with her wand. She held it in her hand looking at it, shook her head, and tapped it with her wand, crushing it into dust.

Pleased with herself, Lina looked back at the statue in amazement and wonder, then saw her roses strewn at the statue's feet. She then noticed something square at the base. Lina held her wand to it and ran her left hand over it. It was a plaque that read: "Terra: A Teen Titan. A True Friend."

Lina drew in a slow gasp as her eyes widened. She whipped her head up and looked at Terra's face. In awe, she whispered,

"...Terra..."

Oooo, mystery! Keep them coming, readers!!!! A little short, but it works.
